Bipolar Plates & Interconnects for Fuel Cells & Electrolysers

Manufacturing technology for metal fuel cell bipolar plates, SOFC interconnects, electrolyser plates and heat exchanger plates.

Borit supports customers starting from the early design stage through an extensive material and coating knowledge, with state of the art testing and characterization equipment and with a profound knowledge of flow fields. Simulation possibilities, as well as a pragmatic development approach allow our customers to come to an optimal design within a few iterations.

Bipolar plates and interconnectors produced with the innovative Borit Hydrogate technology offer distinctive advantages compared to plates produced with more conventional manufacturing processes:

Design & operational flexibility

• Fast prototyping for an optimal flow field pattern 
• High & equal degree of deformation, resulting in deep & narrow flow channel structures
• Forming of all relevant metal-alloys for fuel cells possible: stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, etc.
• Wide range of sheet thicknesses, typically 0.1 to 0.5 mm

Excellent quality

• Controlled flow of material with outstanding sheet flatness after forming
• Superb dimensional accuracy & repeatability

Economic

• Limited die cost
• Efficient production process, because of continuous production method and short cycle times.

Additional advantages

• Finishing (cutting, coating, welding) done in-house or at trusted partners
